South Dayton Baptist Church was started 56 years ago by a tent revival held on their grounds. The old West Moraine Baptist Church was holding their own tent revival and needed space to do so. They were advised of the empty lot across town in a newer neighborhood. Upon seeing the lot they knew it would be a perfect place to host the revival. The neighborhood had such a great outpouring of people attending each night that West Moraine Baptist Church knew they could not leave the people empty handed. Thus the start of South Dayton Baptist Church. Originally know as Gethsemane Baptist Church it was the first plant church of West Moraine Baptist Church. West Moraine grew exceedingly and eventually moved and changed their name to Moraine Heights Baptist Church. Pastor Travis Hudson was the original pastor and now his son Terrell Hudson pastors the church.
